Hi don, the ibiblio.nl server synchronization can take a while: maybe a few hours or a day or 2. I had the same problem as you ~31 MB.
If you are in doubt about iso/sfs file size -> use the md5sum.txt to check the file. Usually BK uploads the small files first for other users to check for consistency.
btw, thanks for the french forum support

burning dvd videos by pburn 3.7.5 on the precise puppy 5.4/5.4.1 fails.
I copied /usr/bin/dvdauthor extracted from slacko 533 to precise 541 and got SUCCESS.
Maybe the dvdauthor in precise is somewhat broken.
/usr/bin/dvdauthor extracted from slacko 533 is 135kB large.
the dvdauthor in precise is only 54kB!
EDIT: the dvdauthor in precise is 154kB, whereas slacko 533 has 135kB. (Tnx to pemasu)

But, when I tried to run iconfinder, it seemed to hang while compiling the icon list. When I broke off the program, I got an error message saying that the list file was probably too large.

Checking /root/.icon_finder revealed a list file weighing in at 4.28 MB, which did seem like quite a lot!

I examined the file and found the source of the problem - iconfinder had left my local machine and had started to download the addresses of all the jpg's on my server. This is why the program appeared to hang.

This unexpected behavior was caused by an unintended interaction with YASSM.iconfinder is configured to search /root among other directories and YASSM mounts the network shares in /root/YASSM - hence the entire network is included in the search rather than just a few local directories where icons are likely to be found.

This problem did not arise earlier when attaching shares with pnethood, which mounts under /mnt/network.

The problem can be solved by adding:

Code:

-path /root/YASSM -prune -o

to line 115 of iconfinder after "find $Paths".

Alternatively, just run iconfinder for the first time before attaching the network drives with YASSM .

Hey Drblock2

Thanks for noticing this unforeseen "feature".
It's been fixed, see here.

@SFR
Tried out iconfinder 1.1 - Works now as advertised. I agree - there are times when you would like to search the entire network. Great application.

What an interesting side-effect! How big a share did you have mounted with YASSM?

I have three network drives with a combined capacity of ca. 1.3 TB connected at the moment although only about 300 GB is actually occupied by data.

I am a creature of habit (with only Windows XP to deal with), but having tried the built-in YASSM, I don't think I will go back to pnethood. YASSM is really fast and stable.

I can also recommend the Samba-TNG server - which I have been using for the last two years to attach my network drives.

I've been trying to register to your blog2 - sending emails and PMs, but received no response. I'm afraid my emails go to your junk mail folder and I know PMs are not always reliable here - so here's my request. I will re-send my email if you don't get it. My email address is similar to my forum name here.

In Puppy Package Manager,
Did you do the examine for dependencies prior to downloading and install?_________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected

Have been using 5.4.1 and 5.4.1-nonPAE on my 10yr old Acer laptop very happily since BK's announcement of them.
All seems to be working extremely well with no unexpected hiccups. In fact these 2 puppy's are running as well, if not better, than any Puppy I've used on this laptop.

Another positive consideration is BK's choice of desktop layout. If, as it now seems likely, we are all soon to be using touch screen laptops, what better touch enabled ICON layout could there be.

What an achievement and forward thinking from our PuppyMaster, considering puppy is now nearly 10 yrs old.

IMHO - Puppy Linux is by far, the best OS available for PC's today.

Thank you Barry, for all that you have done for us and for the world of OS's.

Right. The dvdauthor in precise is 154kB, whereas slacko 533 has 135kB.
Anyway i guess the dvdauthor in precise is somewhat broken._________________Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html
